Kingdom

*Kingdom* is a British television series produced by Parallel Film and Television Productions for the ITV network. Created by Simon Wheeler, the show stars Stephen Fry as Peter Kingdom, a Norfolk solicitor dealing with family, colleagues, and the eccentric locals who seek his legal help. The series also features Hermione Norris, Celia Imrie, Karl Davies, Phyllida Law, and Tony Slattery. The first series, consisting of six one-hour episodes, aired in 2007 and averaged six million viewers per week. Although it experienced a mid-series ratings dip, the executive chairman of ITV commended the programme and commissioned a second series, filmed in 2007 and broadcast in January and February 2008. Filming for the third series took place from July to September 2008, with episodes airing from 7 June 2009. In October 2009, Stephen Fry announced on his blog that ITV was cancelling the series, a decision later confirmed by the channel, which attributed it to tighter budgets and the need to cut more expensive productions.
